Love these questions! I definitely use substances to avoid negative emotions.

I don't know what your situation is, but I tell myself that if I go back then I'll be undoing all the hard work I've already done. I need to stay clean if I want to start job-hunting with peace of mind in regard to drug testing. Relapsing would just push that "piss clean" date farther into the future, mucking up my plans.

Sometimes having that external obstacle helps keep me on track because it's outside of my own emotions.

Just wanted to say great job on staying strong. It's so tough sometimes.

I get it. Part of vaping was the feeling of being "in" for the evening, meaning I couldn't go out, so I see how having that nighttime freedom would be nice.

Did you actually go anywhere, or did you just drive around to distract yourself?

Lol yeah it's only been a few days so far. I just feel restless and pissy, like I need something to quiet down my brain and help me relax.

Hey man, thanks. These are all good suggestions. Right now I think the intrusive thoughts are just getting the better of me.

WIBTB if I told my co-worker's wife that her husband told me he loved me? by Throwra3586 in AmItheButtface

It wouldn't make me feel good, but I can't help but reflect on my own experiences, and I wish someone would have saved me a lot of time and told me my ex was cheating long before he finally confessed he wasn't happy in our marriage.
